Breeders’ Cup win-and-you’re-in races go from California through Kentucky and New York and all the way to Europe. They are the focus of this week’s episode of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

From Paris, Racing Post turf writer Scott Burton previews the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and four other Breeders Cup qualifiers being run Sunday on the undercard.

Godolphin bloodstock director Michael Banahan talks about Cody’s Wish in the Vosburgh Stakes and the immediate plans this fall for him, Pretty Mischievous, Proxy and other standouts.

Super Screener creator Mike Shutty handicaps weekend races at Belmont at Aqueduct, Santa Anita and a Breeders’ Cup qualifier at Churchill Downs.

Listener and reader feedback focuses on five ways racing is ahead of other sports and another five ways that it is not.

The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Google and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.
